parkrun Virtual Volunteer 4+

We had reason to use this on Saturday because our barcode scanners weren’t available (they were left in someone’s garage). The scanner functionality was brilliant. Very very grateful this app has been created otherwise we would have been hand-writing 200 entries.
Would be good if you could select a single entry and delete it - when lots are being shoved at you, it is possible to scan the wrong one. Also, would be great if you could scan the finish tokens handed over by people without their barcode, and manually enter the person’s name. Or at least flag the token number as ‘Forgotten barcode’. And some instructions would be good.
But, overall, great app. Could definitely replace the handheld scanners completely.

I love this app. I’m a ED for my local event and wherever I can, I encourage my volunteers to use this instead of the old equipment. It’s far more user friendly, and I think less intimidating, especially for those who have an aversion to the traditional stopwatch and all its numbers and buttons. The scanner function is also great as you can see it and it won’t let you do it the wrong way around. Can’t wait to have it available on all phone platforms

So we decided to try this app as a backup to our stopwatch this week as last week we had an issue with the stopwatch. I turned my phone to airplane mode and we started... was going really well and kept in time with the stopwatch.... then I thought that the little blip noise that it makes when you touch the split time button could be louder... so I pressed my up volume button 4 times. Annoyingly I didn’t realise that everytime I pressed the volume button it added another split time. So our stopwatch timber was up to runner number 6 and I was up to 14!!! So just a warning, don’t try to adjust your volume while using this app.. so we had to delete the app times. Will try again next week.
